Pipe of the Year 2025 Sandblasted (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

With roots dating to 1848, Vauen is Germany's largest and oldest pipe making marque, boasting decades of innovations such as the 9mm pipe filter — a feature the majority of their pipes still utilize today. Vauen's annual Pipe of the Year series has been released every year since at least 1993, with each iteration by the German marque being a fine example of the craftsmanship of the artisans they employ. For 2025, Vauen's Pipe of the Year is this Apple-like Freehand, a design marked by a plump, supple bowl and a unfurling shank-and-stem arrangement. Presented across a variety of stylish finishes, this particular 2025 Pipe of the Year boasts a sandblasted finish and a silvery accent.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
